Value For Money : Excellent
I was looking for small speakers clean pr to work in my room, my ex was poorly fit, but hs 80 ct tro powerful for her at night ... c is now at my parents and it's going too, so the sound quality compared to the power of choice is motivated ...
to mix and live (movies etc ...)...
pc athlon 2800 + / Cubase Studio 4 / xd + esi maxio rack ex 8000/bcr 2000/e-mu x-board49 protheusX + / ReFX Vanguard / minimogue el ...
Mackie Onyx 1620 without fire wire.les speakers are connected to the control room of the Mackie 1620. connection or RCA jack, I j uses jacks, as Mackie released in jack or xlr, xlr but the head of ser me how to register my main mix .. I have also tested the same ... rca bass boost switch on the back (to avoid when you mix)

SOUNDS

The stereo image is excellent for such small models ...
the treble and midrange are excellent, even pure, very clean, better than the yamaha hs example. of course, not the basses lack precision, but attendance because they are hard-working, even with a frequency of 40 hz announced (30 bass boost in ... as I say has avoided), but given the size of the boomer, well done mr m-audio.
so yes the sound loses the low end (especially compared to the HS80 )....
dynamics is the strong point of these small speakers that their size makes me think about my ex (1m50-38kg/20cm of 40, 3 kilos ... I exaggerate ...), well placed with their anti vibration pads, They are very well, listen to your favorite record, and you rediscovered and is the bass boost mr m-audio is its meaning ... Multimedia ...
Finally, perfect for a room or an apartment

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using for about a year, and I do a lot to think about my ex-> small but with a big character ... like Sylvie ...
the big blue button tearing at design, the pure m-audio ... they are lovely ... very practical as sylvie otherwise headphone jack on the front, perfect for a "bedroom studio" ...
bin before I had the hs 50 -> too low, I prefer to mix with the small m-audio, the car radio, my bass stand out well from around me to have them ... gu pti a warranty issue, but three weeks ct set, and 160 euros for 2 encintes ben ... yes I do it again this election, I had to buy pa annoy my girlfriend at night, you c is separated, they are my parents and so I no longer bothers them pa ... while Bossant own, and I think much nicer than the yam which Vallent double ... c so much the white membrannes ?.... finally here is the value for money is excellent, compared to a yamaha hs or KRK Rokit, pa is a ball, and I even prefer them because my mixes are better since I ls hast ... (bass present, acute sharp, sharp medium ...) and I believe that it is the lack debasse and flattery in this area who also plays, I prefer this kind of mediums to mix very pregnant, its nationals after my best, g and tested many models that I was very disappointed (krk. ..) they say that the bass are flattering in tro m-audio, maybe we have the new reference of the real close (Tré close but hey, it s not nik ears more complex this ...) STOP flattering too low, it will help to lower the compression and limiting and more, and their dynamic disks end up ... we talk of the m 40 av-audio, but I think a Yamaha HS series, taking up much of the aesthetical of 10 ns and that will win is because yamaha c-> bassetro strong low end tro now how very Japanese .. .. when you know what really 10 ns, not false, the NS10 ... test hi fi missed .... with a low shit, tro of medium and Acute lahi fi ... mr c but yamaha said it would be good for sound engineers who have worked all frequencies and thus avoid failure industrial ... So how to get out a mix that has good coffee everywhere if you got a system with too low? c pa but the place I ask? mid and flattery that I gonffle and c true that the manufacturers exaggerate, because a good monitor is a speaker that c can present very serious in my ear, finally, ossi, so that the are perfect for me, I have in over a diff to compare Altec Lansing, etje know c ennorme with having only the top medium for your bass work, but since these speakers ke j ai I love her (May I liked tjs .. .) I like the style of my sound, I like as it sounds, and I love sylvie
